Vertical cross-section from Camano Island, WA (left) toward the northeast through Mt. Baker on Sept. 27, 1997 at 00:07 UTC through a WSR-88D volume.

30-second resolution elevation data plotted using raster representation. The blue highlight represents elevations that are below mean sea level.

Horizontal cross-section at an elevation of 4.0 km depicting radar reflectivity (contours) superimposed with IR satellite data (raster).

Horizontal cross-section of reflectivity at an elevation of 3.0 km through a strong convective line. NOTE: Prior to this plot, 0.47" of precipitation fell in approximately 30 minutes, and marble-sized graupel (cone-shaped) was observed at the UW.

Vertical cross-sections of reflectivity (top) and radial velocity (bottom) showing definite multicellular structure of the convective line (previous image).
